Tower Clocks


Tower Clocks by Seth Thomas,  
Written in 1911, the Seth Thomas Clock Company, founded in 1813, takes you back in time prior to the cheap chips, micro-batteries and LED's found in today's inferior timepieces. This book has great mechanical illustrations and historical photographs giving a wonderful view into the quality mechanical workmanship that went into large tower clocks, many still standing and functioning today.
